OMG! DWS on Andrea Mitchell [View all]

[merrily]

In talking about whether Biden will enter the race, DWS tells Andrea Mitchell, "Obviously, as chair of the Party, I'm neutral."

Neutral?

Maybe, as between Biden and Clinton, DWS is neutral. She has not been neutral as between Hillary and those who have already announced, that's for sure.

DWS also denied Tulsi Gabbard's claim of having been excluded from the DNC. DWS said that Gabbard had been told to focus on issues and Gabbard had insisted focusing on process instead of issues. Mitchell again asked DWS if Gabbard had been disinvited, whereupon DWS essentially repeated herself without answering the question--something she has often done during interviews--saying her staff had told Gabbard's staff that Gabbard had to focus on issues. She said Gabbard herself had mentioned yesterday during an interview that she (Gabbard) would only have been a distraction if she attended.... and that's why Gabbard wasn't attending.

Except that Gabbard is attending with the tickets Sanders is giving her. So, as so often happens, DWS's story--such as it is-- is not holding water.

ETA: Gabbard just on MSNBC saying she had been given an interview on MSNBC, expressing her opinion that more debates were desirable and, the next day, she got a message saying that, if that is how she felt, she should not attend the debate.
